Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section you are asked to choose the most logical of two options to complete the sentence. Based on the description of people, you have to choose which option they would enjoy more. The first sentence reads, “What’s up? I’m Marta and I am very extroverted. I like _________ (parties/books)”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Extroverted people would definitely enjoy socializing at a party more than reading a book. The most logical option here is *las fiestas*.

Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section you are asked to choose the most logical of two options to complete the sentence. Based on the description of people, you have to choose which option they would enjoy more. The third sentence reads, “Good afternoon. My name is Javier and I am very romantic. I like (science fiction movies/romantic movies)”.
Step 2
2 of 3
A romantic person would most likely enjoy romantic films since they can relate to them, it’s pretty clear that “romantic movies” is the correct answer. Notice that we use *gustan* because “romantic movies” is a plural object, as indicated by the “s” at the end of *pelĂculas*.

Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section you are asked to choose the most logical of two options to complete the sentence. Based on the description of people, you have to choose which option they would enjoy more. The fourth question reads, “Hello. I am Samuel and I am intellectual. I like _________ (videogames/books)”.
Step 2
2 of 3
It would make sense, considering that Samuel describes himself as an intellectual, that he would be into reading books. If you need a refresher on any of the new vocab, look back on page 56 and 57.

Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section you are asked to choose the most logical of two options to complete the sentence. Based on the description of people, you have to choose which option they would enjoy more. The fifth sentence reads, “I am Carlota and I am not very active. I like ___________(videogames/sports)”.
Step 2
2 of 3
Since Carlota is not active, it’s a good bet that she doesn’t like sports. Going with the other option is the correct answer.

Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section you are asked to choose the most logical of two options to complete the sentence. Based on the description of people, you have to choose which option they would enjoy more. The final sentence reads, “Hello, my name is Celia. I am not very athletic. I do not like ______ (sports/parties).
Step 2
2 of 3
Be aware that this sentence is negated with the addition of *no* before *soy* and *me gustan*. We’re looking for the option that Celia would enjoy the least, and since she’s not very athletic, it would stand to reason that she wouldn’t enjoy sports that much.
